Gurtz: Little Talk EP
Featuring Christina Chatfield Edit
Klectik010 is the ear pleasing "Little Talk" EP from Buenos Aires based artist, Gurtz. This is the second project for him on the Chicago - based label, following up the very successful Lotus / Brainbow vinyl release (with Dilo). The EP sees Gurtz furthering, developing and exploring his sound. The title track harkens back to an old-school Chicago acid house vibe, while at the same time maintaining a modern feel with disjointed melodies, plush vocals, and clean and crisp production. "On the Roof" features another injection of house infused tones with detuned pads that throb throughout the track which are carried along by a "tracky" beat. Beretta artist Christina Chatfield delivers a powerful remix that strikes a beautiful balance between the more rawer sounds of techno on the lower end with more sultry sounds on top featuring blissful keys working hand in hand with the vocal from the original.
